1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) is a highly conserved RNA quality and quantity surveillance machinery in eukaryotic cells, serving as an important node in the post-transcriptional gene expression. Previous studies using the complete knockout of individual NMD factors in cells or animals reveal that NMD deficiency causes developmental defects and compromises tissue homeostasis. However, because most NMD factors participate in multiple molecular functions, a direct link between NMD and cell fate determination is missing. SMG6 is a core NMD effector and the only endoribonuclease among all NMD factors. The NMD function of SMG6 is exclusively mediated by its PIN (PilT N-terminus) domain. In this study, we engineered a mouse model with the capability of specifically deactivating the SMG6's PIN domain/endoribonuclease activity (
